Taxpayers won’t be footing any more $429-a-night hotel stays by Mary H. Talley.

The director of human resources and chief human capital officer – who, at $192,900 last year, was one of the highest paid members of Mayor Catherine Pugh’s cabinet – resigned and left her post last Friday, Talley confirmed to The Brew today.

“Yes, I did resign,” she said, but added that she was “not comfortable” discussing her decision to leave city government.

“I think you take information out of context and you write inaccurate stories,” she said when reached by telephone.

Talley was the subject of a recent Brew article describing more than $13,000 in general funds she spent to attend a human resources management conference in Chicago with two staff members.

Talley stayed at a hotel that was 50% above the recommended price that the city uses for hotel accommodations in Chicago – and double the allowable lodging rate for federal government employees.

Talley ran the HR department for just under four years. She was hired as deputy director in 2012 and was promoted to director in September 2014.

Previously, she had worked as a human resources officer at the Fox Broadcasting Company, including at its Chicago and Washington, D.C. affiliate stations, according to her LinkedIn profile.
